Invisible Braces (Invisalign)
The Invisalign system
​
The Invisalign system is a virtually invisible treatment that uses an innovative approach to straighten teeth. Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made removable aligners with unique SmartForce and SmartTrack technology that gradually moves your teeth to the ideal position. This may be a great alternative if you are looking to improve your smile but are not interested in wearing traditional metal braces.
​
Here is an overview of how they work
​
-
Computer software is used to fabricate customised aligners to fit over your teeth.
-
Typically, you would wear the aligner most of the day and night, only taking it out to eat and clean your teeth.
-
An aligner moves the teeth a little toward the desired result.
-
There is a series of aligners that you change every 1 to 2 weeks with each aligner moving you closer to your new smile.
-
The total length of treatment time varies for each patient but we can let you know the total treatment time for you specifically through computer modelling before we even start.
-
We will review your progress every 6 to 8 weeks until your new smile has been achieved.
